Alan Ritchson’s approach to building an intimidating physique that inspired everyone is anything but conventional. The Reacher star is known for his towering frame and Olympian-level build.
He’s been turning heads not just by his action-packed performances, but also for his diet and workout. So let’s dive into the details of how he maintains his larger-than-life presence on screen.
Alan Ritchson’s Instagram feasts and indulgence
Alan Ritchson’s uploads on Instagram are a treasure trove for his fans. In a recent video, he quipped, “Welcome to another episode of you’re gonna watch me eat this crap, and you’re gonna like it.” The spread included a mountain of food such as steak, white chocolate, cakes, crème brûlée, potatoes, and scallops.
It seemed like a feast for a king, or in his case, a former military investigator, who can bench press all the bad guys without breaking a sweat. Now, this isn’t the first time Ritchson has shared his indulgent meals on the platform, and it seems to be turning into a video series that his fans enjoy.

In a previous post, he showcased a slightly smaller and less fancy but still calorie-packed food that included cheese omelets, hotdog sausages, cream cheese on bread, and pancakes. Even though it looks like Ritchson is indulging in decadent meals, it only highlights how hard he must work to achieve the physique that is required in Reacher.
The diet and workout routine behind Alan Ritchson’s physique
From his broad shoulders to his chiseled arms, and the brute strength needed for an imposing presence in the show, Alan Ritchson’s body signifies his discipline. But how does he maintain this physique while eating like a man who’s never heard of counting calories?
According to his interview with Men’s Health in 2024, Ritchson has revealed that he eats “whatever the hell” he wants and said, “I eat the healthiest when I’m on set because I have somebody cooking for me.” He worked out five times per week and was big on doing cable exercises at home. A year later he told Business Insider that he is now relying on eating “constantly” and “millions of pushups.”
Moreover, the actor focuses on upper body exercises to achieve the commanding look he has in Reacher. Fight choreography and cardio are also a key part of his training, to ensure that he’s not just bulky, but also agile and ready for action. While his Instagram videos make it seem like he’s living the dream when it comes to eating delicacies, the reality is a carefully balanced routine.
You can watch Reacher on Prime Video.
